Abstract Polysulfone composites were prepared by solution casting, using various types of treated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at loadings of up to 5 wt%. The CNT types tested were: as‐received, acid treated, OCA surfactant, OCA functionalized and Poly(methyl methacrylate) functionalized nanotubes prepared using both as‐re…
The development of a macromolecular conjugate of a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor is described that can be used for renal-specific delivery into proximal tubular cells. A novel sunitinib analogue, that is, 17864, is conjugated to a NH(2) -PAMAM-G3 dendrimer via the platinum (II)-based Universal Linkage System…
Physically crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels prepared using a low-temperature thermally cycled process have tunable mechanical properties that fall within the range of soft tissues, including cardiovascular tissue. An approach to render it hemocompatible is by endothelization, but its hydrophilic nature…
Since the moment Dan Shechtman discovered a material with an ordered but aperiodic (“quasiperiodic”) structure, which was believed to be impossible at the time, he began a long battle to convince his colleagues that his data were real. His efforts were finally rewarded with a Nobel Prize. The picture shows the project…
Abstract Aligned single‐crystalline β‐Si 3 N 4 whiskers with high aspect ratio were first prepared via a Self‐propagating high temperature‐synthesis (SHS) process, by using tungsten powders as catalysts. The as‐synthesized Si 3 N 4 whiskers typically have uniform diameters of 400 nm, length about 200 µm, and exhibit s…
Thin pseudomorphic as well as thick “Pt(111)-like” Pt/Ru(0001) bimetallic substrates have been used to study the oxidation of methanol (CD 3 OH) to CO 2 . Specifically, molecular (cold deposited) and ordered atomic (annealed) oxygen precovered Pt n /Ru(0001) layers with n = 1–15 ML have been studied. Thereby, the thic…
The formation of cadmium selenide, CdSe, nanoparticles in aqueous solutions containing equimolar ammoniated cadmium sulfate, [Cd(NH(3))](4)SO(4) and sodium selenosulfate, Na(2)SeSO(3) as the starting materials, has been investigated by electron pulse radiolysis coupled with kinetic spectrometry. The formation of CdSe…
We report structural, magnetic, dielectric and thermal properties of single-crystal BaMnO(2.99) and its derivatives BaMn(0.97)Li(0.03)O(3) and Ba(0.97)K(0.03)MnO(3). The hexagonal 15R-BaMnO(2.99) perovskite phase is a known antiferromagnetic insulator that orders at a Néel temperature T(N) = 220 K. We find dilute Li a…
This review is focused on the influence of interstitial hydrogen and alloy compositional changes on the internal friction (IF) spectrum and elastic Young's modulus (E) of NiTi based shape memory alloys. In the martensitically transforming binary alloys Ni50+xTi50-x (x≤1.3) vacuum annealed and furnace cooled (H-free),…
The structural properties of a new polymorph of a material distributed commercially as “hexaketocyclohexane octahydrate” have been determined directly from powder X-ray diffraction data, employing the direct-space genetic algorithm technique for structure solution followed by Rietveld refinement. It is shown that the…
NiO films were deposited by radio-frequency reactive magnetron sputtering from a NiO target. A decomposition reaction was found as the films annealed at 400 °C in vacuum. The decomposition increased with increasing annealing temperature and the non-stoichiometry of the film. The electronic and atomic structure of the…
Here, we present a new method to model lateral phase separation in mixed polymer brushes physisorbed to a planar surface with mobile grafting points. The model is based on a local mean field theory that combines a Flory-Huggins approximation for interaction enthalpies with an Alexander-de Gennes brush entropy contribu…
The electronic transport of three kinds of ultrasmall single-wall carbon nanotubes are studied by using nonequilibrium Green’s function method. It is found that the transmission function displays a clear stepwise structure that gives the number of electron channels. The calculated power factor of these nanotubes can b…
Thiol-capped silver nanoparticles were prepared by in situ thermal decomposition of different silver(I)-thiolates precursors in a polymeric matrix. Depending on the structure of the organic coating, contact-free distribution of metal nanoparticles or nanoparticles aggregates were achieved. The structure and morphology…
Surfaces with resistance to non-specific protein adsorption and a high capacity to bind plasminogen from plasma are developed for application as fibrinolytic surfaces in blood contact. A new method is reported for grafting poly(OEGMA-co-HEMA) copolymers on polyurethane surfaces. The OEGMA provides effective protein re…
Expanded graphite oxide (GO) synthesized by graphite oxidation and thermal expansion was exposed to ultrasonic vibration to obtain graphite nanoplatelets (GNFs). Then, expanded GO as conductive filler was dispersed in polypyrrole matrix in order to be utilized as catalyst support. Electrical conductivities and polymer…
This paper reports the dependence of conic angle of nanofibres on the processing and material parameters during electrospinning. Solutions of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) in dimethylformamide (DMF) with varied PAN concentrations were studied as the model systems, and they were electrospun into nanofibres at different high…
We present a detailed examination of the design and expected operation of an artificially birefringent material based around the nanostructured stack-and-draw fabrication technique developed recently. The expected degree of birefringence is estimated using a Finite Difference Time Domain simulation of the physical sys…
The structural properties of liquid Ge${}_{2}$Se${}_{3}$were investigated by first-principles molecular dynamics using the Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr scheme for the treatment of the exchange-correlation functional in density functional theory. Our data for the total neutron structure factor and the total pair-distribution fu…
We study the disorder-order transition boundary of wormlile AB diblock copolymers on the basis of the wormlike chain formalism aided by a self-consistent mean-field treatment. We examine the influence of the persistency on the phase diagram and properties of the phase transition as a function of the volume fraction, F…
